[@anonimo3334443343]

Honestly, this video has confirmed my suspicions from a long time ago. As a learner, it’s a relieve to know that if your not emphasizing the tense of the verb as it’s not the main topic of the sentence, it is possible to drop the “t” sound. It makes linking words, specifically 2 consonants, easier to do so. I’m very looking forward to the other 2 videos as this what cause me headaches all the time when I’m to self-conscious about my pronunciation. Thank you so much for the work, you’ve save me from some future headaches

This is a really good advise... I can compliment it saying that this is something that is gonna appear spontanously when you speak, but knowing this gave us as students the confidence enough that we are doing thigs wright and we are not forgetting/missing somethig in our peonunciation...

There are many sounds in English that do not exist in my language. One of my favorite English sounds is the glottal T sound that can be found in words such as gluten , Latin, important, cotton, button, eaten, mountain, monotonous, latency, and so on.

[@rammonfreitas1079]

You're voicing something I've realized before as a non-native speaker, but always thought I was reading too much into it. You're epic, thanks so much for helping us and freeing our minds 🤗

[@slowanddeliberate6893]

I'm a native speaker of American English, and what Rachel is saying is inaccurate. I hear the "d" sound at the end of those words everytime. I can understand how a foreigner may have a little difficulty hearing it, though. Again, as a native, I always hear the "d" sound. It is subtle, yet still pronounced.

[@JY-um4su]

@@slowanddeliberate6893 Im curious.But did u hear the "d" sound in those cases she brought up from Youglish where she hear dropped?

[@stnhndg]

@@slowanddeliberate6893 I believe you really hear it. The trick is, even if you hear it it doesn't mean that it exists. Native speakers are able to do "phonemic restoration" (Perceptual restoration) i.e. restoring in their mind sounds that do not actually present in speech. It's a widely known phenomena in linguistics, and it exists in any language. And English is well known as a source of many examples of this phenomena (actuallyy, all those researches started from English). Basically, that's why we are able to communicate with different people with different accents and vocal tracts, also it allows us to recognize speech in noisy environment.

[@slowanddeliberate6893]

@@stnhndg Repeat the phrase to yourself. First, pronounce the phrase pretending there is no "ed" at the end. Then, pronounce the phrase as it is. You should hear a difference. For instance. "I worked there for 3 years" does not sound exactly like "I work there for 3 years". Any native English speaker should hear a difference when listening closely.

[@stnhndg]

@@slowanddeliberate6893 It would be a bad idea, since I'm a not a native english speaker, and I don't speak English ) I've downloaded audio from the video and analyzed it with my soft. There are no plosives in these examples ('t' or 'd'). Though I found a small pause which can be related to glottal stop or simple devoicing between words. I believe people could percieve these pauses as 't' since glottal stop is an allophone of 't' in English.

[@englishforever]

Ok. I've had it. Are you doing like Google, Rachel? I mean, have you been listening to my conversations and creating videos for me? I can't believe it!!! An american, who works with me, kind of consulting, me and my students, just told me last week that I over pronounce the ED endings. Especially the /t/ sound. Damn it! I've been tormenting my students for such a long time to pronounce "workT" insted of "workED" that I have developed this over pronunciation of the /t/ sound. Please, enlight us, Guru Rachel. Love you. (With all due respect)

[@tsehayenegash8394]

I havent seen like you in online still now, really you are understand English is difficult b/c it is second language but you teach the word repeatedly so I understand the word what you say. thanks a lot.

[@LK-iy9qw]

Dropped t makes everything easier for pronounciation and tense that I have to bear in mind.

[@quasenerd5476]

This Rachel's series are unequal to any other resource I've even seen on the web! It's helping me a lot. Thanks you! Suggestion for video: pronunciation of "you'll", "we'll", "they'll".

[@pusatberk4193]

oh what a lovely teaching, I m lucky to find you. thanks a lot.

[@OscarJark]

I think this happens because t and d are pretty similar so there's no need to repeat the same consonant. The same happens in spanish with the "a" in words such as Milpa alta or portaaviones.

[@BR-it2qe]

Not really, it happened because the preceeding constant is unvoiced so we say the following constant unvoiced. Its difficult to keep switching between voiced and unvoiced consonants when speaking, especially quickly. The same thing happens in German with voiced and unvoiced consonants. I dont know much about Spanish so im only commenting on the English part.

[@henryb.3286]

Well, actually in Spanish T and D sounds quite different.

[@todd7967]

Voila!Another golden vid! G job,Rachel! Here is the thing. Firstly,I guess many Amerian natives dont realize the fact that they sometimes leave out the -ed sound w/o even thinking about it for a wink when talking fast. Secondly.this interesting phonic fact NEVER finds me well,though I have spent 10+ yrs learning English(never been to English-speaking country tho)! Thank u again ,Rachel!

[@Alosofi11]

I love this video. I found it very entertaining and educational. On the one hand she taught us about the rules that always have been mentioned. On the other hand, she's like "well now you know the rules, but, let's listen to some real American accent" haha I love it. Thanks.

[@rachelsenglish]

You're welcome Alondra and thanks for watching! :)

[@josephhalevy6782]

We do both, drop the T sound of the “Ed” most of the time before “The” and sometimes we do pronounce it. The general rule is a bit complex because it has to do with emphasis&rhythm and these two depend on the intent and effect that we want to give a specific sentence. Also when we run out of air at the “Ed” we unlink the Ed from “the” so we do pronounce the T sound in that case.

[@MsNagy-gd3wn]

Great explanation! Thank you

[@JY-um4su]

U hit the nails right on the lid.Thats literally my opinion as a non-native English speaker about whether or not droppin the -ED sound.

[@bowentaylor8922]

It gets me more comprehending about those principles. I reeeeeally appreciated for ur comment.

[@maynorlopez4732]

So if the rule were as explained by the youtuber, the verbs in the past would sound like the verbs in the present.

[@josephhalevy6782]

@@maynorlopez4732 this is true if the past tense in “Ed” in many cases. Except when we emphasize the past for a specific reason (then it almost sounds like a T) and when the following sound (after Ed) is a vowel sound. Examples: “explained by” would sound “explain by” unless we mean to emphasize that it is a past action which would sound approximately “explainnnnttt by the author”

I'm glad to see this video. Years ago, I used to say the same thing and got teased for it, even sent to the ESL Inquisition, haha! It was tough for some teachers to accept it. Guess some folks just can't handle the truth from a humble non-native speaker. But now, with the pronunciation GOAT herself blessing it, the teasing can officially end 😇. Seriously though, for a sec I thought my ears were playing tricks or I was losing my mind. Rachel, you're an absolute legend. Keep rockin' that American English pronunciation teaching! 👍

[@rachelsenglish]

You're welcome and thanks for watching @pascualchavez2262!

[@eegoal]

4:32 and if you pay attention closely the th sound became an n. it happens due to a linguistic phenomenon called "assimilation."

[@vivianacorrea6549]

Exactly, grammatically we learned those endings, but colloquial English is another story. Good to learn and listen to the examples. This requires careful listening and deep study, not everybody is able to realize these phonetic phenomena.

[@Bc7-w9k]

Hi Rachel, how are you doing? I'm so happy to here that native English speakers drop the "ED" ending sound, since I'm struggling with it. After 2 months working with ELSA (thanks againg for the recommendation), I have a conclusion: these sounds are giving me a bit hard time: Ending "ed" Ending "ing" Short "i" "d3" this is my nightmare. But this are good news for me, because now I know which sounds I need to work with a little bit harder. Thank you very much Rachel. Never stop doing such a wonderful work.
